The Kangaroo Island Marathon is a 42.2km marathon or 21.1km half marathon in one of Australia's most pristine locations, providing runners with an opportunity to get up close with Australia wildlife while traversing one of Australia's best kept secrets.

Locals call it KI. Kangaroo Island is a 14km ferry ride from the coast of South Australia and a 90-minute drive from the beautiful city of Adelaide. KI is home to an abundance of native Australian wildlife, organic award winning food & wine, pristine beaches and soaring cliffs, a spirited community of artists and farmers, and breath-taking ocean sunsets.

The course route is located in the remote south-west corner of Flinders Chase National Park. Be inspired by deviating and undulating roads that cut through dense forest, an exposed coastal section with views of the powerful Southern Ocean, a loop that travels by historic landmarks such as Cape de Couedic Lighthouse and Admirals Arch, and a zig-zag boardwalk leading to the iconic Remarkable Rocks.
